The Grand Nation of Araraukar is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Leader with an iron fist, and remarkable for its public floggings, avant-garde cinema, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, cynical, humorless population of 33.251 billion Araraukarians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Araukar City. The income tax rate is 100%.

The enormous but sluggish Araraukarian economy, worth a remarkable 3,386 trillion rauks a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is mostly comprised of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 101,840 rauks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government confiscates candy from babies for 'the greater good' of the nation, children wondering what happens to pets after they die are shown where the compost heap is, first-time moms are expected to be experienced parents from day one, and would-be emigrants are told "abandon all hope all ye who would exit here". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Araraukar's national animal is the Jammydragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Araraukar is ranked 1,361st in the world and 9th in Osiris for Most Stationary, with 4,363.70554056 days.
